Talking *nix. My ubuntu 18.04 install seems to have trashed itself somehow on booting this morning.

That goes with my dedicated server's HDD either failing or being too full to login and clear, resulting in a new HDD and losing everything on it.

Or it's fixed itself, no idea how/why.

The answer will be in the Arch wiki.

Considering I've never used Arch I've used the wiki a lot.

How old is the hdd? Run gsmartcontrol on it.

Only a few months old SSD. Windows booted fine.
I'll have a look at that and see if any SMART bits are complaining.

Will be sticking with Gnome, whilst wishing there was more viable variety.

Wish someone would hire me to lead a bunch of Linux developers too; if even half my thoughts could be translated into software the result would be superb.
